regrout vs. retile
Hi,
We need to do some minor renovation on our 1980's era, 5'x9', falling apart, solo bathroom. We're thinking of a simple IKEA sink/cabinet and have already replaced the toilet out of necessity. The big question is the floor. It's large white hex tile (seems like a standard size I've seen before) which is fine (but not my dream tile). Only 2 tiles are cracked and the grout is awful. I read a bit about regrouting and realize it is a pain, but it seems way easier than ripping up all the tile, leveling the floor, retiling, and then grouting. How easy do y'all think it would be to replace the 2 broken tiles, bleach/scrub the existing tiles, and regrout without removing the toilet? Has anyone done this as part of a smaller reno instead of a bathroom gut reno. I can live with the icky bisque colored tub if everything else is gleaming white and shiny looking. Thanks for thoughts and advice!

Xilo Porcelain Tile from Artistic Tile
We have lots of extra Xilo tile from a bathroom renovation. This is a very modern white tile with a darker grain pattern. We have 110 6"/12" and 20 6"x6"
The original price was $1,100. We'll sell it all for $700. We are located in Prospect Heights.

Bathroom Reno - any contractor recos?
Hi there,
I'm closing on Friday - 3 weeks late - and moving into my new space on April 5th. I need someone to demo the old tile in the bathroom and install the new somewhat quickly. Any recommendations on someone that's fast and reasonably priced? Everyone on this board always seems to have the inside scoop. Thank you in advance!
